There's really no crossover for any guy ... Some guys are just more successful as starters.
I didn't really know what to expect ... But I've always prepared myself in the offseason to be an everyday shortstop, and that translates into other positions.
The trend is kind of going back to [relying on] defensive guys, and whatever you can get out of them offensively is a bonus ... I'm sure people have different theories why that trend is going back to what it was, but it's a position that I love to play, and I try to focus on it as much as I do on hitting, because I know I can be a productive hitter.More quotes »
